Angi's Super Service award in 2016 and 2017. Stucco Moisture Intrusion Specialist. In addition, we are a full service exterior design and renovation contractor servicing the entire Twin Cities & surrounding areas. We specialize in James Hardie Siding, all major window and door brands. Our jobs range from retrofit repair to total exterior replacement & moisture remediation projects. Designer services and computer renderings available.

"Awful. This company has good reviews but was absolutely awful for me. Called because of a water leak which is supposed to be one of their specialties. They had me hire a separate inspector/specialist to evaluate the home exterior. They then tore a hole in our kitchen ceiling looking for the water leak. When they had difficulty identifying the origin of the leak they simply abandoned the project with a hole in the middle of our kitchen ceiling. Finding water leaks is difficult and I don't blame for having difficulty locating the leak but abandoning the project with a gaping hole in our kitchen is really extraordinarily bad service."

Renewed Hardwood Floors Inc. Has been in business for 26 years. Jeff Kroh is owner and operator Hands on we have 4 Experienced flooring techs that are well trained. Provide Quality service at Competitive price we enjoy what we do. Always great to see satisfied Customers. ( Integrity is our Bond)

"Jeff was great to work with and our new floor looks fantastic. Why only two stars? The crew that did the install seemed to only care about the wood floor. They left stain marks all over our walls, chipped the paint in numerous areas and in one spot the punched a hole completely through the sheet rock wall behind our front door. Both of our pocket doors had nail damage when they attempted to reinstall the baseboard. One was completely nailed in place. On top of all that our nicely finished and originally installed baseboards were put back like they needed to be somewhere else in a hurry. On a few corners the nails were actually sticking out. The boards were splintered and cracked and the mating joints look like the person had never done trim before. There were filthy rags left in the kitchen sink and in the front yard. Our sidewalk and driveway are still coated with debris and some unknown material. The most disappointing thing is that Jeff didn’t check the job before we got home."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.

If nail pops in your drywall aren't fixed, there can be consequences to the structure of your home and the aesthetics of the room. Nail pops may loosen or weaken drywall and may be less effective at providing support and insulation, ultimately requiring more extensive repairs or replacement in the future. If not fixed, the blemish will become increasingly unsightly over time, potentially leading to further damage as raised areas easily catch on objects or clothing. 

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

While most house creaking is expected to some extent and under normal conditions, it's not a good idea to ignore new noises. If other problems accompany the creakiness, like cement cracks, wobbly or loose stair components, or moving trimwork, it's time to look into the potential for foundation trouble or other structural problems.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
